Book trains and flights in advance

Advance Reservation

Many people don’t prefer advance reservations for transport in India, as they don’t want to remain constrained by itineraries. However, the number of people traveling on Indian Railways has dramatically increased to a great deal, as train travel is a cheaper alternative as compared to flights. Some trains can fill up months in advance on popular routes during vacation times. Alternatives, airlines also offer discounts for 14 to 21 days advance ticket reservation.

Accommodation

While it is possible to get great deals on hotels by walking in and negotiating rates at various places, but it is a good idea to plan advance accommodation for major cities, particularly tourist places. International flights often arrive late at night and it is easy to fall prey of disoriented place. Plenty of people can thug tourists by taking them to inferior quality hotels where they get paid commission for the same.

Visit the doctor

Before planning the trip to India, it is important to take a visit to your doctor. You should visit doctor well in advance to find out what precautions could be taken against serious illness. The medications and immunization depend on regions that you intend to visit. For instance, in malaria prone areas there is more risk and time of year should be taken into consideration.

Last but not the least; all persons need visa, so go and get it. Your Indian visa should be obtained before coming to India. There is no provision after that.
